Programme

The Grand Trail de Namur makes its grand return on Sunday, May 24, 2026, after two years of interruption. The Citadelle de Namur becomes the heart of the event—finish line, gathering point, and symbol of a unique trail in Belgium for its blend of heritage, forest, and accessible elevation gain. This new edition marks a fresh start with a rejuvenated team, revisited routes, and the same passion: sharing a moment of adventure, self-discovery, and conviviality at the heart of an exceptional territory.

380 m elevation gain. Quick, convivial, accessible loop around Citadelle de Namur.

22.5 km (Citadelle)

30 km (Citadelle)
